Job Title: Rust Engineer

Location: Remote

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

About the Role:
We are partnering with a leading cybersecurity firm in search of a skilled Rust Engineer to join their innovative team. In this role, you will leverage the power of the Rust programming language and the Tokio tech stack to develop high-performance, secure software solutions that protect against cyber threats. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a rapidly growing cybersecurity firm while working on cutting-edge technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop secure and scalable applications using Rust, with a focus on the Tokio async runtime to build high-performance systems.
• Collaborate with the cybersecurity team to design and implement features that address complex security challenges.
• Utilize the Tokio tech stack (including async/await, Tokio libraries) to build fast, reliable, and non-blocking systems.
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code that adheres to best practices in both performance and security.
• Participate in code reviews, collaborate on technical designs, and work with cross-functional teams to solve complex problems.
• Implement cryptographic algorithms and protocols using Rust to ensure the security of the system.
• Troubleshoot and optimize for performance and security vulnerabilities in the system.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends in Rust development and the cybersecurity landscape, particularly within the context of asynchronous programming.

Qualifications:

• Strong experience in Rust, including developing production-grade applications with a focus on asynchronous programming using the Tokio stack.
• Proficient in writing secure, high-performance Rust code, especially with the Tokio async runtime.
• Solid understanding of system-level programming, memory management, and concurrency in Rust.
• Knowledge of secure coding practices, cryptography, and implementing encryption algorithms.
• Experience with network security or systems programming is highly preferred.
• Proficiency with tools like Cargo, Clippy, Rustfmt, and experience using Tokio libraries (e.g., tokio-timer, tokio-net).
• Strong understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail, with the ability to work independently.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with cybersecurity frameworks, penetration testing, or vulnerability management.
• Familiarity with network protocols (TLS, VPNs) and security tools (e.g., firewalls).
• Experience with cloud platforms and containerization (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker).
• Knowledge of system profiling, debugging, and performance optimization.
• Familiarity with additional programming languages such as Go, C++, or Python.
• Experience working with databases or message queues in a security context.

Why Consider This Role?

• Competitive salary and benefits, with flexible working arrangements (remote/office hybrid).
• A collaborative and innovative environment that values your ideas and contributions.
• Continuous opportunities for growth, learning, and career advancement in a fast-paced industry.
• Make a direct impact in helping organizations stay secure against emerging cyber threats.
